THE ANARCHIST FARMERS.

Mr.. Ed. Wolcott, a politician, I be-
lieve, has turned out a new phrase
which he fits onto the broad backs Of
the simple agriculturalist.
Their anti-rovalty bill thanks to the
work Of the farmers committee and the
ENQUIRER has finally passed the Senate
and unlesss vetoed will soon be law.
Mr.. Wolcott now calls the heretofore
honest Grangers" who asked this bill in
order to curb the water monopoly "a
nest Of Anarchists.
Senator Carpenter said on his part,
that the farmers committee were loud
mouthed fellows and paid lobbyists ad vo-
eating Communism"
The "honest" Senators who voted
against the bill we're these:
Archulets, Abbott. Carpenter, Chri
tian. Freeman. Greene. Kinkaid,
McCandless. Montez and Woodwork.
Waters and Eddy were absent.
Now the farmers can choose: thev
can be called Anarchists" or "Commu-
nlsts" and be free from robbery by gen.
tlelnanly Legislators and ditch monopo-
lists or they can be called the "honest"
farmer and ill up the holes In their
boots with straw for want of money to
buy leather patches.
Gentle Havseed, listen Soft words
butter no parsnips. and an un-robbed
Anarchist wears better clothes, eats
better food and has more. Joy Of life,
than ragged and hungry "honest and
happy farmer"

In q name?
